Connor Martin is a Northern Irish entrepreneur and proud dad to twin boys, Carter and Mason. He started his first business in a spare room. What began as a small fragrance brand grew into JAQ Group, now home to The Essence Vault, Liquid London, Thomson Carter and JAQ Fulfilment—a 3PL company helping DTC brands thrive across the UK and Europe.

The JAQ Group is a dynamic, fast-growing e-commerce holding company based in Antrim, Northern Ireland. Founded by Connor Martin in 2019, the group has rapidly expanded its portfolio to include several successful brands, notably The Essence Vault, Thomson Carter, and Liquid London. These brands have made significant strides in the fragrance industry, with The Essence Vault becoming a £100 million brand over five years, Thomson Carter achieving £5 million in revenue within 16 months, and Liquid London reaching £2 million in just seven months. To support its growing operations, The JAQ Group established JAQ Fulfilment, a dedicated third-party logistics (3PL) company offering worldwide order fulfilment services. This vertical integration allows the group to maintain control over product development, packaging, and shipping, ensuring excellence across its diverse portfolio. Under the leadership of Connor Martin, The JAQ Group exemplifies innovation and strategic growth in the e-commerce sector, continually expanding its reach in the beauty and fragrance markets.
